A Monitoring Group is a list of one or more servers or devices to be monitored. Monitoring Groups are shared by all Argent products - the same Monitoring Group can be used in any number of Argent products.

Alerts

Argent has 18 different types of Alerts and they fall into two classes: Notification Alerts and Action Alerts. A Notification Alert, such as an Alphanumeric Pager Alert, sends the details of a broken Rule; an Action Alert takes corrective action, such as a SQL Alert executing a SQL statement.

For example, if a SQL Transaction Log becomes too large, an Alphanumeric Pager Alert and an Email Alert can be fired, and a SQL Alert can also be executed to run a SQL statement to truncate the SQL Transaction Log.

In this way, Argent first alerts you of a problem and then automatically corrects the problem for you.
